Hello My 'Country Friends'!
​
This year we will also be raising the necessary monies needed to run the event that we want to keep alive for all concerned. The location will be at the Billy Barber Complex (Yarlaski Park) in Callander, Ontario, Canada (just a few short minutes from North Bay) on This year's Country Singing contest is July 31st, Aug 1st and Aug 2nd. The deadline for entries is June 1st NO EXCEPTIONS!
We are hoping that this will be a great event again and looking forward to seeing all contestants. Keep checking back for updates on our fundraisers and other events we will be hosting.
By the way the attendance for the contest will be free and we would like to invite you to bring along your own chairs, as there will not be chairs available for you and the event will remain outdoors. 2019 brought us another record breaking audience attendance and hats off to you. Let's do it again for 2019 and make it even bigger!
​
Thanks to all of you, N.O.O.C.S.C.
CANCELLED till 2021
